One of the newest and best features of the Apple iPhone is its GPS capability. So if you are a business person that travels a lot or simply a person who loves to roam around... an Apple iPhone is now your friend. The navigator is built-in and it knows exactly where you are. It is so good that you might not need to carry your dedicated Garmin GPS around. Travel and your iPhone... really a perfect match.

The Apple iPhone leverages true GPS functionality better than any other PDA phone or other device. It already has a large, 3.5-inch touchscreen interface, external speakers and an elegant Google Maps interface.

Some people wonder why you would need a navigator on your cell phone. Many people would prefer to just stop a local and ask for directions. But, what if you are going to meet your friends for a night on the town and it's a new bar? Or, if you need to go to multiple places that same evening? It quickly becomes difficult to remember how to get to all the different locations.

I've been using a Garmin GPS for several years, and yes, sometimes I don't have to bring this unit when I have my iPhone around. One of the nicest features of the GPS is its ability to give you turn by turn directions. My dedicated GPS unit also provide this feature but the Apple iPhone does it better. The iPhone shows directions both textual and graphical format, and its GPS system seems to be more up to date. The latest maps and streets are on the unit. So far, there hasn't been any charge for new maps, which is a good thing. And, finally with the GPS unit, you also get free traffic updates, which is an added cost on the Garmin.

The built-in movie player and the ability to read eBooks and play music are also some of the reasons why travel and your iPhone is really a great match up. The iPod portion of the Apple iPhone is like having your own theater or disco party right in your own hands. Also part of this built-in theater is the ability to watch YouTube videos, especially if you have an Internet connection, which is almost a surety since there are many ways to connect to the Internet with the Apple iPhone. I couldn't imagine myself anymore traveling a few hundred miles without having these distractions to help get through the whole trip.

Besides having these great built-in applications, you also have the ability to download even more programs and games to keep you entertained. For example, one of the free fun games that I've downloaded is Papi. The built-in gyro feature of the Apple iPhone is what makes it a unique game to play. I've played that game for hours and so have my kids.

Now that you've gone through my reasons why travel and your iPhone are matched well together, make sure to bear in mind a few things before your next trip. Load your iPhone up on movies, eBooks, music and TV channels before you leave assuming, of course, you have enough memory left over. Use the built-in navigator to figure out where to go and find places to visit along the way.
